Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

Transform a side of Caesar salad into satisfying supper fare with strips of tender grilled chicken breast and sliced red pepper drizzled in a creamy signature dressing and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 head romaine lettuce
1 carrot, shredded
Half sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
3 tbsp milk
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 cup croutons

Directions:
Combine oil, oregano, pepper and salt; brush over chicken. Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and cook, turning once, for 10 minutes or until no longer pink inside.
Transfer to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate 2 of the breasts. Slice remaining chicken across the grain into thin strips.
Meanwhile, tear lettuce into bite-size pieces; place in large bowl. Add carrot, red pepper and chicken; toss lightly.
Whisk together mayonnaise, milk, cheese, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper; pour over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with croutons.
